The Challenge
Oops. It would seem I've been neglecting LJ for a few months. I'll try to do better.
In the mean time, I've finally decided on a New Year's Resolution. I know... I'm about a month late in coming up with one but... better late than never, I suppose.
SO: It is now my personal goal for 2010 to read 50 books by midnight on December 31. It doesn't sound like much, but it will be an accomplishment for me. I used to be able to read 100 books in a year, no problem. Recently, I've found that it's an accomplishment for me to finish 10. It's time to rectify this problem. __vintagebomb gave me the idea. She and dazzled_x plan on reading 100 books this year. I admire their ambition. I would love to do that, but I think it would be better if I start off with baby steps. Who knows... maybe I'll surprise myself and read more than 50. Let's hope.
I'll be sure to update as I go and keep a master list here as I read. Comments and book suggestions are always welcome!
